Nan Hokkeji Temple is also known as the Healing Temple. The Buddha statue is surrounded by cherry trees. In spring, you can see the Sakura Buddha with cherry blossoms in full bloom, as if floating among the cherry blossoms. It is definitely a beautiful landscape! It is best to visit this temple in the morning when it opens to avoid the crowds and have soft morning light for photography.

After our military-style descent from Kōzan-ji Temple, we discovered this hidden cherry blossom gem with few crowds and full blooms🌟 Both riverbanks form a dense sakura tunnel with trains passing through the pink canopy Watching locals walk their dogs under the blossoms, my friend and I couldn't stop marveling: This is what cherry blossom season should truly look like👀 📆 Live footage from April 4, 2025 ✨Sogagawa Embankment 🚌Take train to "Bōjō Station", navigate to "Children's Park", then walk along the riverbank - it's all cherry trees with beautiful views at both ends : Nearby itinerary suggestions ✔️Kōzan-ji Temple (go early, descend by noon to avoid traffic) ✔️Takada Senbonzakura (visit at dusk for stunning night views, with riverside market stalls where you can buy snacks to enjoy under illuminated blossoms)

#cherryblossom25 Takato Castle Park in Nagano, Japan, is one of the country’s most stunning cherry blossom spots, especially famous for its unique kohigan-zakura trees 🌸. Every April, the park transforms into a dreamy pink landscape, with over 1,500 cherry trees in bloom. Adding to the charm are beautiful flower sculptures — vibrant statues crafted from fresh flowers 🌺🎎, giving visitors picture-perfect spots and a festive hanami atmosphere.

#cherryblossom25 Review (Traveler using #cherryblossom25): Takato Castle Ruins Park is honestly one of the most saturated cherry blossom experiences I've ever had. The variety of sakura here, called Takato Kohigan-zakura, has a slightly deeper pink hue compared to the usual pale blossoms — making the whole park look like a painting in vivid brushstrokes. Walking through the park felt like entering a cotton candy world, especially at sunrise when the mist hugged the hills. Even though it’s a famous spot, the vibe stayed calm early in the morning. The remnants of the old castle gave it this epic, faded grandeur. My #cherryblossom25 post from here was a shot from the wooden bridge crossing over a river of pink — it looked almost too perfect to be real. Truly one of Japan’s ultimate sakura destinations.

#cherryblossom25 Tsubosaka-dera is one of those places that makes you stop and go, “Whoa, is this even real?” During cherry blossom season, it’s straight-up stunning. The temple sits up in the hills, so not only do you get a ton of gorgeous cherry trees, but you also get epic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. It’s like sakura with a backdrop upgrade. The combo of pink blossoms, old temple buildings, and giant Buddha statues is seriously next-level. It’s not super crowded either, so you can actually chill and enjoy the scenery without feeling rushed. Walking around the temple grounds under the sakura trees is super peaceful and kind of magical. Bring your camera, this place is a photo goldmine. If you’re down for a bit of a trip outside the city and want something truly unique, Tsubosaka-dera is totally worth it. Cherry blossoms + mountain views = perfect spring day.

#cherryblossom25 As the sun began to dip below the horizon and the evening sky darkened, I decided to step off the bus two stops early. The small village streets welcomed me as I walked through the tranquil town, the sound of the gentle breeze and distant birdsong filling the air. I took a moment to swing on a swing by the roadside, letting my worries fall away with the wind. 🌬️ With every step, the beauty of the cherry blossoms unfolded before me — delicate petals hanging from branches, some swirling in the air like confetti, others gently falling onto the ground. The entire path to Takato Castle Ruins Park was lined with trees in full bloom, each one more stunning than the last. 🌸 When I finally arrived at the park, the cherry blossoms were in full glory. The sight felt almost magical, as if the park itself was frozen in a timeless moment of beauty. The park, with its historical ruins, added a sense of nostalgia and peace, perfectly complemented by the soft petals floating around me. #naturalwonders

#springitinerary Tsubosaka-dera is one of those temples that feels like a hidden treasure. It’s up in the mountains in Nara, so you get these insane views and total peace and quiet. The temple itself is pretty chill but super pretty, with a giant Buddha statue, stone lanterns, and that classic old-Japan feel. The vibe here is peaceful and low-key spiritual. It’s known as a place for healing, especially for your eyes, so there’s a bit of that gentle feel better energy all around. The best part? It’s not crowded. You can actually take your time, walk around, breathe in the mountain air, and just be. If you go in spring, the cherry blossoms add that extra wow layer. Honestly, it’s one of those places where you don’t have to do much—just show up, soak in the view, and let the calm hit you. Super underrated, super worth it.

#cherryblossom25 About Takato Castle Takato Castle, with a rich historical backdrop, traces its origins to the Sengoku period during the time of Takeda Shingen and his conquest of Shinano. As a critical strategic point, Takato Castle was entrusted to trusted commanders like Akiyama Nobutomo, Suwa Katsuyoshi, and Nishina Morinobu. One of the most notable battles in Takato’s history is the Battle of Takato Castle. During the Kōshū Campaign, the Takeda forces, overwhelmed by the advancing Oda army, largely retreated. However, the castle lord Nishina Morinobu (one of Shingen’s five sons) led a valiant defense with just a handful of soldiers against Oda Nobutada’s troops, ultimately resulting in a tragic yet heroic end to Takeda’s final battle. Today, Nishina Morinobu is enshrined as the "New Castle God" at Fujiwara Shrine located on the castle grounds. After the Edo period, the castle site saw changes under several feudal families, including the Kyōgoku, Hōsaka, and Torii families. With the Meiji Restoration, the castle was abandoned, and most of the structures were sold off. However, the cherry blossoms now filling the ruins owe their existence to the decision of former Takato clan retainers who transplanted sakura trees here. Today, 150 years later, these trees bloom every spring, turning the area into a famous cherry blossom destination, attracting countless visitors. Travel Tips: By bus: From Ina Station, take a bus to Takato Station (around 590 yen). Please note that the buses run infrequently, so make sure to confirm the timetable in advance. Whether you're a history buff or a cherry blossom enthusiast, Takato Castle Ruins offers both a glimpse into Japan’s past and a breathtaking springtime spectacle. 🌸 #travel

#cherryblossom25 Takato Castle Ruins Park in Nagano is celebrated as one of Japan’s top three cherry blossom spots, famous for its rare and vibrant Kohigan-zakura trees. These blossoms are smaller and deeper pink than typical sakura, creating a dreamy cloud of color over the entire park. The ruins of the old castle add historical charm, while elevated viewpoints offer panoramic views of sakura canopies stretching to the mountains. The annual festival features lanterns, local food, and live performances. If you’re looking for a truly immersive and colorful hanami experience, Takato Castle is a breathtaking sakura haven.

#aprilblooms An ancient temple built on the top of Mt. Tsubosaka, overlooking Mt. Yoshino, a famous cherry blossom spot in the south, and the Nara Basin, the hometown of Manyo, to the north. It is one of the famous places in Yamato, which is also mentioned in the Heian period's "Makura Soshi" and "Konjaku Monogatari Shu". According to the "Nanhokaji Kojiden" in the temple collection, it is said that the origin of the founding was engraved and enshrined a statue of Kannon by Enshrining it in the 3rd year of Taiho (703) by enshrining his favourite jar in the 3rd year of Taiho (703). The main image is the eleven-faced thousand-handed Kannon statue, which is widely believed as a Buddha with a new spiritual experience for eye diseases. Based on the story that describes the spiritual experience of this Kannon, the Joruri and Kabuki performance "Tsubosaka Reigenki", which depicts the human story of a blind husband and a devoted wife, was created.

#cherryblossom25 It's the cherry blossom season in early April at Minami Hokke-ji Temple in the suburbs of Nara, and the Sakura Buddha is very easy to photograph and produce great results. It is recommended to arrive in the morning, as many minibuses and tour buses will fill up the small temple after the afternoon. There will be fewer people here between 9 and 11 o'clock, so if you want to take your time taking photos, remember to choose the right time. You can either queue up to buy tickets or buy them in advance. I would recommend buying tickets in advance, as it will be faster to get through customs, especially when the area is full of tourists. In addition to this cherry blossom spot, there is also a hidden cherry blossom spot, the Fujiwara Palace ruins. A large field of yellow cauliflowers is really great with the cherry blossoms.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 🌸 In the spring in Nara, in addition to Nara Park and Mount Yoshino, there is also a hidden secret place for cherry blossoms - Tsubosaka Temple! This ancient temple, built in 703 AD, not only has a long history, but is also famous for enshrining the Eleven-Headed Thousand-Armed Guanyin Bodhisattva, who is believed to protect the eyes and cure eye diseases. 🌸 Sakura Buddha: Every spring, the cherry blossoms in Tsubosaka Temple are in full bloom, and the 15-meter-high Sakyamuni Buddha is surrounded by a sea of ​​pink flowers, forming a beautiful picture, which is called the "Sakura Buddha". This scene was once used as a promotional poster for Kinki Nippon Railway, and it is so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off it. 🌸 Exotic style: Huban Temple is deeply influenced by Indian culture. There are many Indian-style stone statues and reliefs in the temple, such as the 20-meter-high stone statue of Guanyin and the 50-meter-long relief of the Buddha's biography. These stone statues and reliefs add a sense of mystery and solemnity to the temple. 🌸 Prayer experience: Tsubasa Temple is the sixth of the 33 sacred sites of Guanyin in the West Country and is famous for its efficacy in curing eye diseases. The temple also offers creative products such as eye-related amulets, eye drops, and hand towels, which are perfect for buying as souvenirs. 🌸 Useful Information: Address: Tsubosaka 3rd Floor, Takatori-cho, Takaichi-gun, Nara Prefecture Admission: Adults 600 yen, children 100 yen, free for children under 5 years old Transportation: About 20 minutes by bus or taxi from Kintetsu Tsubosakayama Station 🌸 Tips: When viewing cherry blossoms in spring, it is recommended to plan your trip in advance to avoid peak hours.

Huban Temple is not only an ancient temple with a long history, but also a scenic spot with beautiful scenery in all seasons. Whether it is praying or taking photos, this place can give you an unforgettable experience! Come and feel the charm of this thousand-year-old temple! ✨

#cherryblossom25 I woke up in Kyoto on April 3, 2024, to see on Xiaohongshu that the cherry blossoms at Tsubosaka Temple (also known as Nampō-dera) and Mount Yoshino had bloomed overnight! Excited, I rushed over and captured some incredible shots of this breathtaking sight. 🌸 🌸 Cherry Blossom Timing in Nara: Full Bloom Expected: April 4, 2025 The blossoms will be in full bloom for less than a week, so timing is key! Make sure to keep an eye on updates from other travelers on Xiaohongshu for live updates. ⏰ 🚄 Getting There: From Kyoto: Take the Kintetsu Kashihara Line to Kashihara Jingu-mae Station, then take a taxi or a bus from the station to the temple. From Osaka: Take the Kintetsu Osaka Line to Yamato-Yagi Station, then continue by taxi or bus to Tsubosaka Temple. The temple, built over 1300 years ago during the Tang Dynasty, is a hidden gem for anyone visiting Nara, especially during the cherry blossom season. 🌸 #familytravel #myitinerary

Tsubosakadera is a temple that is said to cure eye diseases and stands on Mount Tsubosaka, which overlooks the Nara Basin, one of the three mountains of Yamato. The temple grounds, which have ties to India, display many Buddhist sculptures related to Hinduism in Gandhara, giving it an exotic atmosphere that you would never expect in a Japanese temple. The highlight of Tsubosakadera is the 10m-tall Great Buddha "Tenjiku Torai" "Great Shaka Nyorai Stone Statue" In spring, it is surrounded by cherry blossoms, and is also known as the "Sakura Buddha" because it looks like it is wearing a cherry blossom shawl.

#Sakura2024 The ruins of Takatori Castle, towering over a mountain at an altitude of over 500m, were in a great location with a great view. It was a magnificent and quiet space where you could feel the passage of a thousand years of time. There were many large trees that were said to be over 700 years old. The magnificent castle walls remain, and walking along them makes it clear that the area was quite large. It was a place worth seeing, but I think it would be dangerous to wear sandals. I recommend going there dressed like you would for mountain climbing. #NaraPrefecture #CastleTour
